Before starting - ask yourself - do I want to be able to find my stuff? If your answer is NO!, stop reading - this is not for you. Any other answer: READ On!

One of the most time consuming activities can be finding stuff - especially if you forgot it in the cargo hanger in a ship,or in a container in ship cargo bay. In game, those kinds of searches are difficult to do - efficiently, if at all.

Fortunately, the data is available in the EPI API (footnote needed) and that data can be accessed using jEveAssets. (add jEveAssets ICON)

So - to get started: a) Have JAVA on your system (Oracle or Adoptium (Opensource)) (add icons). Java-v8 (JVE8) is the version used to compile jEveAssets so JVE8 or later work. If it doesn't, submit a bugreport!! 64-bit versions are recommended, for better memory management. b) Download jEveAssets. You can put the jEveAssets folder anywhere you fancy - as long as your JAVA binaries are located automatically (i.e., in your PATH environment variable). c) Since you didn't answer NO to the opening question - I'll assume that you have an EVE account - alpha or OMEGA - so now is the moment to start jEveAssets by double-clicking (W10, macos, Linux GUI) jeveassets.jar.

If I recall correctly (irrc) this first time jEveAssets opens the dialog to add a character (no character or corp registered equals no assets to be seen) (add visuals)
